The Burson Soloist and the LCD-3f sound fantastic together. I've been listening to this combo every night for months.
The lcds never sound wrong with the Soloist.
I have also auditioned the Audeze Deckard amp with the lcds. This combo also sound great but is a little bit more laid back in comparison to the Soloist. The Solist gives the Lcds more energy and it just says sounds correct.
I have 5 sets of headphones (lcd2/3fs , Hifiman HE-560 , Mr Speakers Alpha Dogs and Oppo PM-2). They all sound great on the Soloist. The only headphone to date that I feel sounds wrong with the Soloist are the Fostex TH-900s.
The Audeze Deckard is a better fit for them. I am inclined to believe this is due to the speed of both the Burson and the Fostex,both being very fast, and so the sound of the Fostex just comes across as dry and hard sounding. Not harsh, but hard.
I believe I have the same experience with my Audeze Deckard vs Sony UDA-1 on my TH-900. The Sony sounded dry and hard as you described compared to the Deckard. I really liked the sound from my UDA-1 on my D2000 though.
